SEW-EURODRIVE
X.e Series
The next generation of industrial gear units has been introduced to SEW-EURODRIVE’s portfolio of drive solutions. Building off the success of the proven X-Series helical and bevel-helical gear units, the X.e generation represents an evolutionary step in performance. Advanced improvements to the X.e gear units have been tested in the harshest of conditions in real world applications. The latest improvements include increased lifetime, reduced maintenance, and cooler operating temperatures – while maintaining the footprint and mounting geometry of the existing X-Series product.
